Demosthenes, Philippic 3, section 17 (search)
but for my part, so far from
admitting that in acting thus he is not observing the peace with you, I assert
that when he lays hands on Megara,
sets up tyrannies in Euboea, makes his
way, as now, into Thrace, hatches plots
in the Peloponnese, and carries out all
operations with his armed force, he is breaking the peace and making war upon
you—unless you are prepared to say that men who bring up the
siege-engines are keeping the peace until they actually bring them to bear on
the walls. But you will not admit that; for he who makes and devises the means
by which I may be captured is at war with me, even though he has not yet hurled
a javelin or shot a bolt
Demosthenes, Philippic 3, section 27 (search)
Are not tyrannies already established in Euboea, an island, remember, not far from
Thebes and Athens? Does he not write explicitly in his
letters, “I am at peace with those who are willing to obey
me”? And he does not merely write this without putting it into
practice; but he is off to the Hellespont, just as before he hurried to Ambracia; in the Peloponnese he occupies the important city of
Elis; only the other day he
intrigued against the Megarians. Neither the Greek nor the barbarian world is
big enough for the fellow's ambiti
Demosthenes, Philippic 2, section 35 (search)
Now therefore, while the danger is in the
future and is gathering head, while we can still hear one another speak, I want
to remind each one of you, however clearly he knows it, who it is that persuaded
you to abandon the Phocians and Thermopylae, the command of which gave Philip the command also
of the road to Attica and the
Peloponnesus, and who it is that
has forced you to take counsel, not for your rights and interests abroad, but
for your possessions here at home and for the war in Attica, a war which will bring distress on
every one of us, when it does come, but which really dates from that very day.
Demosthenes, Philippic 3, section 42 (search)
“Arthmius of
Zelea,” it says, “son of Pythonax, outlaw and enemy of the
people of Athens and of their
allies, himself and his family.” Then is recorded the reason for this
punishment: “because he conveyed the gold of the Medes to the
Peloponnese.” So runs the

Demosthenes, Philippic 3, section 45 (search)
So our ancestors thought that they were
bound to consider the welfare of all Greeks, for except on that assumption
bribery and corruption in the Peloponnese would be no concern of theirs; and in chastising
and punishing all whom they detected, they went so far as to set the offenders'
names on a pillar. The natural result was that the Greek power was dreaded by
the barbarian, not the barbarian by the Greeks. But that is no longer so. For
that is not your attitude towards these and other offences. What then is your
attitude?
Demosthenes, Philippic 3, section 71 (search)
Then having completed all these
preparations and made our purpose clear, we must lose no time in calling upon
the other Greeks, and we must inform them by sending ambassadors [in
every direction, to the Peloponnese, to
Rhodes, to Chios, to the Great King—for even
his interests are not unaffected if we prevent Philip from subduing the whole
country—] so that if you win them over, you may have someone
to share your dangers and your expenses when the time comes, or if not, that you
may at least delay the course of even
